In order to keep my sanity, I needed an easy way for me to keep track of the batches that I brewed.
Why? It’s nice to be able to reference the number of beers I’ve brewed, and see at a glance what I thought of each of these beers.
Since I’m also running this site, I thought why not track those batches as part of this blog. It’s a win / win… I maintain the list, and share it with my readers.

Batches
| Batch | Beer | Style | Process | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cherry Wheat | American Wheat Ale | Extract |  | Not bad for my first beer. Artificial cherry flavoring has to go. |
| 2 | Mixed Grain Cream Ale | Cream Ale | Extract | | While drinkable, got some bad information from the LHBS on adding mixed grains for flavor. Would not do that again. |
| 3 | Blue Moon Clone | American Wheat Ale | Extract |  | A good beer that tasted pretty close to a Blue Moon. First time I kegged. |
| 4 | Mango Wheat | American Wheat Ale | Partial Mash | A disaster. Not really sure what happened, but this one was dumped. | |
| 5 | Great Pumpkin Special | American Brown Ale | All Grain | | My first all grain. Used a pre-made recipe from my LHBS and turned out pretty good. |
| 6 | Centennial Blonde Ale | Blonde Ale | All Grain |  | Favorite beer to date. All in all, a great crushable beer. |
| 7 | Cascade Pale Ale | American Pale Ale | BrewGround | N/A | Playing around with Cascade hops. |
| 8 | Brulospher Best Blonde Ale | Blonde Ale | All Grain | | A pretty decent Blonde Ale, but I prefer batch #6. |
| 9 | Amarillo Wheat Ale | American Wheat Ale | All Grain | | A single hopped Wheat that was pretty tasty. Would add some additional hops next time for more character. |
| 10 | Kirkland Cider | Cider | N/A | | My first cider, and not a bad one at that. |
| 11 | Citradelic Pale Ale | American Pale Ale | BrewGround | N/A | A Citra hops BrewGround. |
| 12 | Munich Helles | Munich Helles | All Grain | | Oh man, did I like this beer. Would brew again and play around with different hop combinations. |
| 13 | Mystical Pale Ale | American Pale Ale | BrewGround | N/A | This is what you get with you have no idea what yo hopped your beer with. It was meant to be something else. |
| 14 | El Dorado Pale Ale | American Pale Ale | BrewGround | N/A | An extract beer using a 15 min boil to showcase the El Dorado hop. |
